The short answer
Publish names, date, venues with maps, program flow, attire guide, FAQ, RSVP, gallery, and gift note. This checklist gives you all 10 sections in order plus the 2 most couples forget.
Key Takeaways
1. Lead with names, date, countdown, and venue city so guests get it in five seconds.
2. Add love story, ceremony details, maps, program flow, and attire guide.
3. Always include FAQ, online RSVP with a clear deadline, gallery, and gift note.
4. Name a contact person and tell guests to check the site for updates.
5. Every section ships standard in a ThriftyWedsites build, live in 24 hours.
1. Names, date and a countdown
The hero of your site. Couple names, wedding date and venue city, with a live countdown for excitement. Guests should understand the entire wedding in five seconds.
2. Your love story
How you met, favorite memories and the proposal, with engagement photos. This is the most read section on every site we build. Two to four short paragraphs beat one long essay.
3. Ceremony and reception details
Venue names, addresses, start times and parking notes for both events. Never assume guests know the venue. Out of town relatives especially need this spelled out.
4. Google Maps links
One tap navigation for each venue. This single feature prevents more day of chaos than anything else on the list.
5. Program flow and entourage
Ceremony order, reception program and the full entourage lineup. Your coordinator will thank you, and so will guests wondering when dinner starts.
6. Attire guide
Dress code plus color guidance and what to avoid. Photos of example outfits help more than paragraphs of description.
7. FAQ section
Kids, plus ones, gifts, parking, unplugged ceremony rules. Every question you answer here is fifty messages you never receive. See examples on our features page.
8. Online RSVP
A one tap form beats replying in chat. Set a clear deadline three to four weeks before the wedding. Our full playbook is in how to get guests to RSVP on time.
9. Photo gallery
Prenup shots and favorite memories. Guests browse these while waiting for your reply about the dress code they could have read in section 6.
10. Registry or gift guidance
Filipino guests will ask. A short, gracious note about gifts or a registry link saves everyone awkwardness.
The two sections couples forget
First, a contact or helpline note telling guests who to message with questions so it is not always the bride. Second, an updates note: tell guests to check the site for changes instead of relying on chat announcements that get buried.
Every section above comes standard in a ThriftyWedsites build. Pick a design you love and send us your details. We write, design and launch everything in 24 hours.
